Grass fed cows

I was in the cattle/calf business for a few years in the mid 90's. Had 40 acres and when we had rain and a small feed bill I did okay. I ran about 20 head on the 40 acres plus three horses grass got pretty thin in winter and I'm in Florida. Would I do it again? Not unless I had a few hundred acres and at least a 100 or so head.

On your 12 acres you might be able to feed 4 maybe 5 head and don't get a bull of your own. Just borrow or lease one if you want to raise a calf or two and rotate your helfers to breed every other year. It isn't as easy as most folks think. On your land you can feed your family but you won't make any money.
